Autism Football Behavior Chart!

This is one of the most awesome ideas for a behavior chart. My son is autistic and we are always looking for ways to help with his behavior. He is also ADHD, OCD, sensory processing and the list goes on. 

Anyway, he has ABA therapy through the week and our wonderful therapist came up with the idea of a football behavior chart. Side note, he is obsessed with football, he wears a different jersey everyday! LOL

He starts in the End Zone on the left and each time he meets one of his goals he moves 10 yards! If he doesn't do what he is suppose to do he moves 10 yards back. When he gets a touchdown he gets to choose his reward.

His favorite football player is former Gamecock, Marcus Lattimore and current 49er! He loves to move Marcus and get the touchdown! 

Would love to hear your comments and if you have a great way to help manage behavior I would love to know!

Halloween Wreath for Grandma Fread :)

I know I have been MIA from my site, but it is not without warrant. I do currently have several unfinished projects going on ;}  My Hubby's family will be coming for Thanksgiving this year (they live in Missouri and Kansas) which means big projects around the house!  Poor, poor Hubs!

Now that you know that useless bit of information... I got a text from my Aunt asking me to make a Halloween wreath for my grandparents they're 91!!! 

You know most of my projects I do on the cheap, but it's my g'parents and I want to do it up right! I get my handy dandy smart phone, hit up Michael's and Hobby Lobby with my in store coupons, and still come out pretty good.

I hit there Halloween decor and starting picking up stuff at random with no real thought about how it would end up.

I did make sure I had the black, purple, orange and green deco mesh, black ribbon and a circle foam.

I covered the circle foam in the black ribbon, took the deco mesh (I use floral pins and hot glue to hold in place) and worked my way round the circle. Once this was completed it's just a matter of putting everything in place.

I took my larger items the WELCOME sign, owl, witches hat, BOO!, large spider, large pumpkin and the squiggles (for lack of a better word) and placed them around. I always go back and forth, moving, adjusting, and arranging everything. I also like to let it hang up on the door so I can see how it will lay.

 

 

 

Once I have the bigger items like I want them, I hot glue and pin them in place. After this I place the small green and black spiders around, green, purple, and black glass balls, small squiggles, etc.

This project at most took an hour, more like 35-45 minutes.

Let me know your thought!! I would love to see your projects too.

Happy Halloween!
